works and looks just fine. Only had to replace the battery once in almost 6 years on the bike.

X2 on these, I picked up a temp guage too from a guy trading his Road King in on a new bike. Got both for $25 bucks...

That must be a fuel guage that I haven't seen. But, I have a carbed Sporty. My fuel guage is the trip odometer and the reserve pickup.
Right behind the clock is my fuel gauge. It is an add on that HD sells. It shows me at a glance how much gas I have. There are four bars that disappears as I use up my gas. I love it. It is a double check for the amount of gas I have at any time.

Ah...yes I do remember seeing that fuel guage in the catalog. Ya know, the clock will fit just the same over on the front brake housing. I have the matching temp guage on that side. I don't recommend the temp guage though. Just licking my finger and sticking it in the air is as accurate as that stupid thing.

I have a "Fomotion" (I think that's the brand) handlebar clock and love it! It's unobtrusive, easy to glance at, and I simply replace the button battery every spring.

i went on ebay and typed in LED watch. then went to ending soonest. i bought a white banded, waterproof, blue LED watch for 99 cents US with like $4.00 shipping. it has a white silicone/stretchy band. i put it on my dual cluster right in between both clusters. looks good for what it is and cost me $5 total.
for that price, i figured if i hated it, i would have a watch to give some one as a gift

If I need to know the time, I look at the one in the speedo. I like to keep my bars as clean as possible.

Sportsters have 1" bars, I believe the Softail Heritage has 1-1/4" bars.
